I'd see this --exclude as the opposite of specifying files, i.e. in a
repository containing directories A, B and C,

git log --exclude=B

would be the same as

git log A C

If I understand correctly, it's not the case with your implementation
because

and because "git log --stat A C" (or --patch) will show the diff only
for A and C for commits touching all directories.
